(b) Refunding bonds may be payable from:
(1) the same source as the bonds, notes, or other obligations being refunded;

(3) sources other than the source described by Subdivision (1).
(c) A district must publish notice of intent to issue refunding bonds at least once a week for two consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation within the district and at least 15 days before the date of the meeting of the board at which it is proposed to issue the bonds. Before the issuance of the bonds, if a petition signed by not less than 10 percent of the registered voters of the district is filed with the district calling for a referendum on the refunding bond issue, the board shall, at its next meeting, order an election to be held within the district to determine whether the bonds shall be issued. The election shall be held in the manner prescribed by Chapter 1251, Government Code, for the issuance of municipal bonds.
